IU Divestment Coalition members gathered outside the Monroe County Justice Center Tuesday as two protesters arrested for disorderly conduct appeared in court and were assigned a public defender.

Last month, the IU Board of Trustees passed a new “expressive activities” policy after criticism of the university’s handling of antiwar protests in the spring. The policy prohibits protests between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

State Police chatter on the ground and from atop the Indiana Memorial Union shows that the ISP planned to arrest student organizers Bryce Greene and Aidan Khamis ahead of time.

Green Party presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein visited Fort Wayne Tuesday to speak at a pro-Palestine rally on the Allen County Courthouse Green.

As of February, over 70 cities have passed resolutions on the Israel-Palestine conflict with at least 48 calling for a ceasefire.

More than 10,000 women and children have since been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to a revised death toll released from the United Nations.

An officer first addressed the crowd, gathered on both sides of the Eagleson bridge south of 7th street, and asked the protesters to remove the tent.

The protesters made three demands of the university: end its partnership with NSWC Crane, divest from Israel, and remove three administrators.

The two flights started shortly before President Pamela Whitten and other academic leaders took the stage at IU’s Memorial Stadium in Bloomington.

Protesters calling for Indiana University to divest from Israel are now demanding the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office drop a charge against an IU student arrested during a protest last week.
